If there has been, you will be told that the amount of the reward will be confirmed by the chairman of the local Crimestoppers committee of volunteers.

This will take a minimum of four weeks and once this has been confirmed, you will be asked to name:

A branch of the major banks with whom Crimestoppers has an arrangement to pay the reward anonymously.

The date when you want to collect it (normally two weeks later).

How do I get paid?

On the agreed date, all you need to do is to go to the bank branch, quote your code and you will be given your cash reward. You will not be asked to sign anything or to provide any proof of your identity.

If a suspect has not been charged, you may be told:

Law enforcement enquiries are ongoing and that you should ring back in another six to eight weeks.

Whether a reward is payable, given that all law enforcement enquiries have been completed.
